BRAND NEW!

Would you like an autographed copy of one of my books, but can't make it to a book signing event?

The owners of Who Else Books at the Denver Book Mall -- a really lovely couple, Nina and Ron Else -- are now carrying autographed copies of all my books in stock.

You can contact them to make arrangements to purchase a copy. Their policy is to keep shipping costs to the very minimum to cover postage.
You can email Nina and Ron for information, phone them at 303-987-0281, check their website, or write to them at:

Who Else! Books

I can hardly believe it will be JULY tomorrow!!

A Highlander's Homecoming is finished and turned in to my Beyond Excellent Editor. There will be revisions, but at lease Robert and Isabella's story is written now! Homecoming is due out for you guys in February 2010.

Revisions for A Highlander's Destiny are complete and they've given me a peek at the cover. As soon as I get the go ahead and a final on the cover, I'll share it right here. Destiny is due on shelves on January 2010.

Although both are stand alone stories, I'm excited to see what you guys think of these books... Since I knew they would be back to back releases, Homecoming picks up where Destiny leaves off, so I'm hoping you enjoy seeing what happens next!

I've just begun to work on the NEXT book [whew!]. I'll be bringing back some of my favorites [and hopefully yours] from Dun Ard to help them find their happy evr afters!

Stay tuned!

SECOND LIFE SALONS

There will be no July Second Life Salon. We are looking into some location changes for the salons since they've gotten larger and we're running out of room in my little booth! Next Salon Date: Wednesday, August 19, with our guest, the amazing and multi-talented Deidre Knight!

CHANGES, CHANGES

I'm considering big changes to the website. I love the look, but I want it to be more user-friendly. I've had suggestions from readers for a FAQ page and for a printable reading list of the books [in order, of course!] and I definitely want to get those up, but I've been delayed with deadlines for the last two books. [My thanks to the readers who have made these suggestions!! ]

Now that I have a tiny bit of breathing space, I've decided to make more changes than just adding those two items. So, since I'm getting ready to take the BIG plunge, before I do, I'm opening the floor to you guys.

Anything special you'd like to see on the website? I'd love to hear your suggestions. Either send me an email or leave me a note in the ShoutBox on the left side of the page letting me know what you think!

IMPORTANT!! If you emailed requesting bookmarks and/or bookplates and you have NOT heard from me yet, please send another email. During the past few months while trying to meet deadlines for these two upcoming books, I'm afraid I might have lost track. I normally print the requests out and then fill them the next day...but, I'm not sure I got them all done. And since my office looks like a tornado hit right after I finish a book...well, there's just no telling.

I did send a bunch out the day after I finished the book, but, if I missed YOU, my sincere apologies... please let me know and I'll make sure to get them out to you! Until next time -

Melissa
